N1 - Funding Information: Perhaps the most significant accomplishments of the NYUCD-Forsyth Center collaboration are reflected in the individual success stories of its minority trainees and students. We cannot do justice to these stories here, but they include significant advances by a young hygiene school faculty member to graduate from dental school with honors and pursue research, the advancement of a recipient of the center's Supplement for Minority Investigator to a position of an assistant professor and director of the Office of Public Health (NYUCD) and as a co-PI on a recently funded NIH grant, the determination of a center co-investigator who entered a PhD program in molecular epidemiology at Columbia in September 2002, the development of a data entry assistant who completed his DDS training and an MS degree in Oral Biology and who was subsequently awarded a 3-year Clinical Research Fellowship from the NIDCR, the dedication of a young dental hygiene faculty member who is completing an MS degree in public health and plans on pursuing a PhD degree in international public health, and a determined junior assistant in the NYUCD biostatistics core who is now pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology. What is most relevant to this report, however, is the fact that in the identification of these personal achievements, these individuals have attributed their participation in the RRCMOH as a key factor in both setting and achieving their goals. Funding Information: Until the late 1980s, the efforts of Meharry Medical College's (MMC) School of Dentistry were mainly focused on training dentists and providing clinical services for the community. Since that time, however, research has become an integral component of the mission of the dental school. In 1995, when the school was awarded one of four RRCMOH grants, achievement of the goals of this research mission was significantly enhanced. This RRCMOH program was based on a partnership between MMC and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and included support for joint research projects and shared research and research support facilities. A faculty development component of the RRCMOH program was supported by the RCMI program, as was an additional program to recruit research faculty and upgrade the physical infrastructure in the School of Dentistry.
